aEstimated reductions are relative to the CCTI reference cases which are similar to those in Energy Information Administration, Annual Energy Outlook 2000, DOE/EIA-0383(2000) (Washington, DC, December 1999) and Annual Energy Outlook 1999, DOE/EIA-0383(99)(Washington, DC, December 1998).
bFor the renewable generation tax credits, the change represents the reduction in fossil energy use for electricity generation.
cReductions in carbon emissions from electricity are calculated from the estimated emissions of marginal generating plants.
